Nr Cornhill, Banff, AB45

Yopa is delighted to present this charming, walk-in condition, detached traditional 2-bedroom stone cottage. This property is set on its own 6.5 acres of rough pasture and amenity land, located just under a mile from the A95. It also includes four stables and a hay barn, all situated in a beautifully secluded, dark-sky location.

When the property was purchased in 2021, it was outdated and in poor condition. Since then, it has been completely refurbished to modern standards. This includes the installation of a damp membrane on the floor, which has also been skimmed. A new kitchen has been added, along with a stylish modern double shower room. Additionally, a Telford Tempest solar water boiler has been installed, which can be connected to solar panels if desired. The heating system was upgraded with modern Rointe (German) digital electronic radiators that feature integrated Wi-Fi for remote temperature control.

Recently, SSEN replaced the telegraph poles that supply electricity to the property, ensuring reliable service for the next 20 years. Additionally, the guttering has been replaced, and there is now a Heissen Sigma infrared heating panel in the kitchen, which boasts an impressive 98.5% electrical efficiency. Insulation has also been added where practible throughout the renovation. You can truly sense the transformation since 2021.

The cottage's simple layout is one of its key strengths. As you enter, you'll find a storage cupboard on the left that contains the water heater. Stepping directly into the kitchen, you'll notice that the space is generous, featuring modern storage solutions and excellent prep areas, enhanced by the dual-aspect double-glazed window units that allow plenty of natural light. A short passageway leads you to the spacious lounge, which boasts two windows that overlook the elevated countryside in front of the cottage. One of these windows is a sealed door unit that could be reopened if desired. The lounge's focal point is a cozy wood burner, perfect for creating warm and inviting evenings in front of the fire.

Access to the sleeping accommodations is through a long corridor at the back of the lounge. On your immediate left, you'll find the smaller of the two double bedrooms. Although it is the smaller room, it still offers a comfortable double bed and built-in wardrobe storage. Next to this bedroom is the modern shower room, which features a double shower, Aquasplash walls, a heated towel rail, and ceiling lights. These elements come together to create a fresh and contemporary look.

The main bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect double bedroom with ample floor space for freestanding furniture, concluding the interior accommodation.

The property spans 6.5 acres of rough pasture and a versatile outdoor garden area, which has previously been used for equine activities. There is ample off-road parking available for several cars. Additionally, the property features five stables, one of which has been converted to accommodate the new water filtration system. Other amenities include a hay shed/wood storage area and two ponds.

The property features digital, Wi-Fi-controlled Rointe electric radiators, uPVC double-glazing, a septic tank with soakaway, a wood-burning stove, and its own well.

Seaview Cottage boasts an incredible variety of wildlife, including Scottish Wildcats, badgers, common lizards, pine martens, roe deer, weasels, and owls. It offers a unique chance to experience rural living with dark skies and complete privacy in a renovated traditional stone cottage situated on a versatile plot. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the property’s character, flexibility, and potential.
